Season 2 of The Boondocks


For those of you unfamiliar with 'The Boondocks', it is a widely popular animated television series created for the Adult Swim block on the Cartoon Network. Created by Aaron McGruder, and based off his successful web-comic of the same name, this satirical cartoon has definitely reached a certain level of fame.

The show bases itself off the Freeman family, including Huey, Riley and Robert - the first two being 10 years and 8 years respectively, and the third being their ultra-active grandfather - a black family in an upper-class white neighborhood. Hilarity ensues!

The show itself has come under fire numerous times from it's liberal use of a certain 'N' word in all it's forms, however despite the criticism the show has earned numerous positive reviews from critics!

Personally I think Uncle Ruckus - a black white-supremacist - to be absolutely priceless in terms of comedic value. Look for the second season of this show to be out on shelves on June 10th this year! Also keep an eye out, cause in this DVD set, you will also get 2 never-before-aired episodes!

It's on my list - what about yours?
